I'm trying to set distance restraints between some protein sidechains
and a structural calcium ion. The calcium leaves its pocket and the
protein begins to unravel without any constraints. I made a upb file
and tried to use make DIST_RST and got the following error message:

makeDIST_RST -upb carestraints.upb -pdb enzph1ala_min3.pdb -rst
enzph1ala_rst_min3.rst
# makeDIST_RST
Currently configured for up to 5000 atoms
Using MAP file /usr/local/amber/dat/map.DG-AMBER
ERROR no map function for CA CA :data= 79 GLY O 171 CA CA 2.8

This is the upb file I made:

79 GLY O 171 CA CA 2.8
76 ASP OD1 171 CA CA 2.8
77 GLY O 171 CA CA 2.8
102 GLU OE2 171 CA CA 2.8

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
